ECG Review James T. DeVries, MD 6 December 2004
45 yo female 1 week post-op with shortness of breath The most likely diagnosis is: 1) ST elevation MI 2) Digitalis toxicity 3) Pulmonary embolism 4) Ventricular tachycardia
Findings • Accelerated junctional rhythm • Right axis deviation • “S1Q3T3” pattern • Clinical history and EKG most consistent with acute PE
67 yo dialysis patient without symptoms The most likely diagnosis is: 1) Pacemaker malfunction 2) Hyperkalemia 3) Normal EKG for dialysis patient 4) Intermittent LBBB
Findings • NSR with 1rst degree AVB • injury current V1-V2 • Peaked t waves • Leftward axis • Findings most c/w hyperkalemia
49 yo male with chest pain This EKG demonstrates 1) acute anterior infarction 2) acute inferior/posterior injury without RV involvement 3) acute inferior/posterior injury with RV involvement 4) acute pericarditis
Findings • Sinus brady • inferior STEMI • posterior STEMI • V1 ST elevation • Most consistent with inferior/posterior STEMI with RV involvement
77 yo woman with hypertension • This EKG demonstrates • atrial flutter with 3:1 conduction • 2) left ventricular hypertrophy • 3) no abnormalities • 4) left anterior fascicular block
Findings • NSR with 1°AVB • LVH • Best answer is LVH

54 yo female with lung disease and shortness of breath • The rhythm in this EKG is: • Ectopic atrial rhythm • NSR • Atrial bigeminy • Atrial flutter with block
Findings • Ectopic rhythm • Note PR>110ms • Inverted p waves • Best answer: Ectopic atrial rhythm
22 yo male with lightheadedness and palpitation • In addition to an echocardiogram, this patient will likely require: • A permanent pacemaker • A heart transplantation • A coronary angiogram • An ICD
Findings • NSR with PAC’s • LVH with repole • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy- altered myocyte shape, size, and alignment, leading to LVH, diastolic dysfunction, and syncope/sudden death. Frequently require prophylactic ICD placement when identified.
57 yo female with exercise-induced palpitations This patient presents to your ER with a BP of 100/60. She recently had a normal coronary angiogram and echo. The most likely diagnosis is: 1) Aberrant SVT 2) VT 3) Sinus tach with LBBB 4) Artifact
Findings • A/V dissociation • LBBB • Rightward axis • Positive QRS axis inferiorly • RV outflow tract ventricular tachycardia: typically catacholamine induced (post-exercise), have characteristic LBBB morphology with rightward axis and positive QRS vector inferiorly.
25 yo male with systolic murmur The most likely diagnosis is: 1) Congenital bicuspid aortic valve 2) Severe mitral stenosis 3) Pulmonic stenosis 4) Ebstein’s anomaly
Findings • RVH • Rightward axis • The constellation of right ventricular enlargement with rightward axis in a young patient with a systolic murmur is most suggestive of pulmonic stenosis.

32 yo male with palpitations This ECG demonstrates: 1) Wandering atrial pacemaker 2) Junctional rhythm 3) Delta waves 4) Subtle Epsilon waves
Findings • NSR with short PR • Delta waves • WPW
45 yo male with palpitations • The LEAST likely rhythm is: • AVNRT • Atrial flutter with 2:1 • Multifocal atrial tachycardia • Orthodromic atrioventicular tachycardia
Findings • Narrow complex, regular tachycardia • No visible p waves • Multifocal atrial tachycardia requires >3 p wave morphologies and is slightly irregular
